  • I agree with you. In this case it’s time to bring this up. I quietly blocked monk months ago because I was tired of seeing his shit in my feed, but I didn’t want to bring attention to his inflammatory posts. But that clearly hasn’t worked on a wider level. He’s still posting sketchy stuff and annoying other people here. Sometimes you have to call people out and the wider community has to act, even at the risk of drawing attention to the problem users.




  • This is the problem I’ve run into. I wanted to stay as part of a social group I’m nominally in, but that group’s only presence is on Facebook. And the group admins don’t want to move somewhere else because a) it’s change, and b) there aren’t many other options as good at managing such groups.

    On a related topic, does anyone know of a good Federated alternative to Facebook. Or at least an alternative that’s less ad-riddled and more privacy-conscious)?

    I looked around online last night and all the articles out there suggested things like Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter as Facebook alternatives, which are wrong on so many levels. I’m not that bothered about getting an alternative myself since I barely used FB anyway. But being my extended family’s tech support, I keep getting asked about what good alternatives are out there. I’m finding nothing, but I’m likely missing a good Federated option.







  • Already seen some of this shit being thrown weekend here on Lemmy (and heavily downvoted, thankfully). Idiocy that the reason for the fire damage was because the fire chief was a lesbian.

    Last I checked, sexual orientation doesn’t impact organizational skills, expertise, out knowledge. And I doubt she got to that position purely out of sympathy/political correctness, despite what the bigots claim.
